[Samba] Support of NTFRS, SYSVOL replication and DFS-R
When does File Replication using NTFRS or DFS-R will be availabe? Does anybody already work on this item? Here would be some first documentation for this team in case it hasn't started yet: - NTFRS: technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc759297(v=ws.10).aspx - SYSVOL replication: technet.microsoft.com/de-de/library/dd640019(v=ws.10).aspx - NTFRS migration to DFS-R: technet.microsoft.com/de-de/library/dd641227(v=ws.10).aspx DFS-R replication of SYSVOL folder requires all domain controllers using Win2008 instead of Win2003 (which only supports NTFRS). I expect this is at least one of the main reasons for MS to make a difference between the domain compatibility 2003 and domain compatibility 2008 setting?!

Would love to see some work on this but I don't know of anyone currently doing so. If I'm wrong please let me know :-).> Here would be some first documentation for this team in case it hasn't started yet: > - NTFRS: technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc759297(v=ws.10).aspx > - SYSVOL replication: technet.microsoft.com/de-de/library/dd640019(v=ws.10).aspx > - NTFRS migration to DFS-R: technet.microsoft.com/de-de/library/dd641227(v=ws.10).aspx > > DFS-R replication of SYSVOL folder requires all domain controllers using Win2008 instead of Win2003 (which only supports NTFRS).
